1．
A．It is beneficial for the rural kids.
B．It is unproductive.
C．It makes no kid left behind.
D．It biases for the public schools.
正确答案：B
解析：预览选项，全部都是对It的评价，因此推测本题可能问印象、评价。录音中，男士提到，他认为教育系统成效不大(underperforming)，让许多孩子落后了，B项的unproductive是对录音中underperforming的同义改写，故为答案。男士提到，教育系统使很多孩子落后，尤其是少数族裔的孩子和一些乡村的孩子，A、C与录音相反，可排除；录音中提到，教育部门的反对者们反对让孩子去私立学校，这只是教育部门反对者的意见，不等同于整个教育体系的意见，所以不能得出“教育体系偏向公立学校”的说法，据此排除D。 知识模块：对话

听力原文：W: Good morning, listeners. Today I’d like to introduce our guest speaker George Allen from the British Council, (6)who is going to talk to us about living in the UK. G
eorge, over to you.M: Thank you. As you are no doubt aware the UK is becoming a popular destination for people who wish to study at university, so what I’d like to do is, well, just give you listeners an insight into what living in the UK is really like.W: What do students have to consider first before they go?M: Finance, of course. Britain is quite an expensive place to live in. Therefore, you need to consider costs very carefully. (7)And one of the major expenses is tuition fees. University courses range from about 5,000 pounds to 8,000 pounds, depending on the type of course. Then, other expenses such as books, which can cost about 500 pounds per year.W: That’s a considerable amount. Then where do you suggest students to stay?M: (8)As for accommodation, many people prefer to stay in the university’s hall of residence because living on campus is a lot cheaper than living off campus. A room in halls would cost you about 80 pounds per week outside of London. The north of England, however, is much cheaper.W: Then what about living off campus?M: Well, you can rent a private house with a group of other students. You may think this would be an expensive option, but if you share the cost with three or four other students it can actually work out cheaper than a room on campus. But do bear in mind that you have additi
onal transport costs to and from university.W: That’s good news. What is the climate like in the UK?M: Britain is famous for its bad weather and for good reasons. (9)It rains often in the UK, and even in the summer it can still be quite cold. So take plenty of warm clothes with you.W: You bet. George, some listeners are anxious about food there. Is it really unpleasant?M: Many people who visit the UK often find the food rather boring and uninteresting. This is because, generally, (10)people don’t use spices in their cooking. Nevertheless, some of the food, I must say, is actually rather good. And the cheapest places to eat out are often local pubs, where they serve excellent home-cooked food, as well as serving as the centre of social life in most towns and cities in the UK.W: George, you have given us valuable advice on living in the UK. It’s very beneficial to our listeners. Thanks a lot.M: It’s my pleasure.6. What are the two speakers mainly talking about?7. What can we learn from the conversation about tuition fees?8. What can we learn from the conversation about accommodation?9. What is the climate like in the UK?10. What can we learn from the conversation about food in the UK?
6．
A．Living in the UK.
B．Tuition fees in the UK
C．Climate in the UK.
D．Food in the UK.
正确答案：A
解析：本题问两位说话者主要谈论什么。录音开头，女士在介绍George Allen的时候，明确提到George Allen主要讲的是living in the UK，故答案为A。“英国学费”“英国气候”“英国食物”均为会话的部分内容，不是会话主题，可排除。 知识模块：对话
7．
A．University courses range from 4,000 pounds to 8,000 pounds.
B．Books can cost about 500 pounds per term.
C．Tuition fees are one of the major expenses.
D．Different types of courses cost the same.
正确答案：C
解析：由选项关键词4，000 pounds to 8,000 pounds，cost，Tuition fees可推测本题跟学费有关。男士在讲Finance“经费”，时，提到其中最主要的一个开支是学费，C项与会话相符。A项错在4,000 pounds，应是5,000 pounds；B项为强干扰项，会话中说的是other expenses such as books(包括书本费在内，但不单只书本费)大约为每年500英镑，B项“书本费约为每学期500英镑”将这些费用的范围缩小了，而且per term也与录音中的per year不符，故排除；录音提到，课程的花费在5000英镑到8000英镑之间，花费多少取决于课程种类，可见不同种类的课程花费不一样，故排除D。 知识模块：对话
8．
A．Accommodation in the north of England is rather expensive.
B．A room off campus would cost you about 80 pounds per week.
C．A private house off campus is cheaper than a room on campus.
D．Lots of people would like to live on campus.
正确答案：D
解析：根据选项的关键词Accommodation，room，house，living on campus，推断题目可能问住宿方面的信息。在讲住宿问题时，男士提到，许多人选择住校，因为住校比在校外租房住要便宜，D与会话相符。男士提到，英格兰北部的住宿便宜很多，故A错误；每周80英镑是住校内的费用，不是在校外租房的费用，排除B；男士提到，住校比校外租房便宜，C与会话的意思刚好相反。 知识模块：对话
9．
A．It is usually sunny and warm.
B．It rains often and is quite warm.
C．It often rains and is cold.
D．It rains often and the summer lasts long.
正确答案：C
解析：根据选项的关键词sunny，warm，rains，cold，summer lasts long可推测本题问气候。男士提到，英国经常下雨，甚至在夏天也很冷，C项与会话相符。 知识模块：对话
10．
A．The food is rather rich.
B．The food is not spicy.
C．Home-cooked food is not served anywhere.
D．It is cheap to eat in school canteens.
正确答案：B
解析：根据选项的关键词The food，Home-cooked food，eat，canteens可推测本题问食物。
录音中男士提到，英国人煮食物时不会放香料，由此可见英国食物很清淡，B项符合会话意思，故为答案。A项的rich跟会话中的boring and uninteresting相悖，可排除；男士提到当地酒吧提供Home-cooked food，据此可知C错误；D项school canteens未在会话中提及，可排除。 知识模块：对话
